He paid me in uncut amethysts that time. I haven’t heard from him since.
The first time I tracked him, I nearly lost him in a crowd at Maxwell Street Market. He was average height, forgettable face, dressed in a faded Cubs hoodie. What made him stand out was what he carried: a vintage leather briefcase with a thermometer sticking out of the side. He walked like a man who knew every pressure plate and security camera within a mile.
I checked the postmark. It was from inside my own zip code.
“The casing is breaking, friend. New enemies. New meats. Stay by the phone.”
